Brothersoft Editor: toMOTko is a small Zaurus application for learning new vocabulary in a foreign language.

toMOTko was born of need for a tool that could run on my PDA and help me to learn/acquire new vocabulary in Japanese and Spanish. I was tired of using flashcards that are cumbersome and time-consuming to make. Also, I discovered that I had a tendency to remember more the appearance of the FlashCard than the words themselves.

The name of the application is pronounced "to-mo-ko". It's a common first name for a Japanese woman. I chose it thinking it would give a more "human" and nice/cute Aspect to my application. So, a user could imagine that Tomoko Sensei is teaching him/her some new vocabulary. I altered the name slightly to make it special and unique. Hence, MOT means "word" in French (my mother tongue) as this is what this application is all about : words.

The application is very simple. It asks words (or whatever you feel to put in the text fields) repetitively in a way similar to Leitner System. The Algorithm is not perfect yet but it's already good enough to facilitate new vocabulary acquisition. It provides a Glossary Manager that allows the user to add/remove/edit words in a hierarchical structure that is convenient to efficiently select or unselect groups of words to memorize/learn.

Features to implement :

Keep/restore state when quitting/starting the application. Make it work for Linux and MacOS X. Some statistics (word count, percentage of success/misses, etc.) Use the statistics to initialize the TermScheduler.
